Hi! John.
Use some industrial glue to glue a nice deep pile carpet off cut to the
carriers. My trailer is a double axle heavyweight so it doesn't bounce and
the a/c and parts don't need tying down otherwise the tie down straps can do
as much damage as the carriers so I'd give the tie downs the same type of
treatment.My a/c has been trailered for every flight and to Germany and back
by road without any damage.

Subject: Chafing on road trailer ?
Hi Europaphiles,
I normally keep my plane at a hangar at my local airport and bring it
home on occasion for inspections and routine maintenance. I have a
question for those of you who routinely use a road trailer to transport
your Europa.
What method have you used to eliminate/reduce chafing of the wing paint
where the wings are supported in the swinging cradles ? My factory made
trailer has the wing supports made out of a firm foam rubber with a tape
facing. I find that after a few trips, I have developed some chafe marks.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers, John
